Solved What is "Key Express Service" in Services Startup?

[Hiker Guy]

Due to some PC issues I am having, I am looking at my System Configuration and the services that start with the computer. Most are good, but one is called

"Key Express Service" with the manufacturer "unknown".

Internet searches does not provide clues for what this is, and if it is safe to disable.

Thoughts?

I would run a full malware scan, with Malwarebytes, and see what it says.

I have Malwarebytes, run scans regularly. No threats detected.

Found it! This is apparently an ASUSTek computer service for my Z170 Deluxe MB.
Didn't know about this functionality until now. There is apparently a dedicated USB socket to "assign macros to function keys F1-F10 to launch applications. It also has some functionality regarding shutdowns that I need to explore. First, however, is to find that dedicated USB socket!
